American game show winnings records
In the United States, a game show is a type of radio, television, or internet programming genre in which contestants, television personalities or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, play a game which involves answering questions or solving puzzles, usually for money and/or prizes. Since the genre began, many shows have offered prizes of large sums of money to contestants; Teddy Nadler set the original monetary winnings record of $264,000 during his appearance on ''The $64,000 Challenge'' in 1957.
Nadler was not surpassed until 1980, when Thom McKee won $312,700 on ''Tic-Tac-Dough''. In 1999, John Carpenter won $1,000,000 on ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'', becoming the first person to win a seven-figure prize on an American game show. Since then, many players have gone on to win that amount and even surpassed it. As of 2015, Brad Rutter is the highest-earning American game show contestant of all time, having accumulated a total of $4,555,102. He succeeded Ken Jennings as the highest-earning contestant by virtue of his victory on May 16, 2014, in the ''Jeopardy!'' Battle of the Decades tournament.
==Daytime game shows==
The single day record for shows in daytime television was set by Michael Larson in 1984, who won $110,237 () on ''Press Your Luck''. Larson achieved his record by memorizing the show's board patterns. He repeatedly hit the board's squares that awarded contestants money and an additional spin. That spin would in turn replace the spin he had just used, effectively allowing him to spin the board in the second round as long as wanted. Because of this, his game had to be split into two episodes (which aired June 8 and June 11, 1984), as his turn caused the game to go well over the show's half-hour allotted time. In 2003, Game Show Network produced a documentary about the event.
In 2006, Larson was succeeded by Vickyann Chrobak-Sadowski, who set the record by winning $147,517 on the 35th season premiere of ''The Price Is Right'' in 2006. Chrobak-Sadowski's record has since been broken by Sheree Heil from her appearance on ''The Price Is Right'' in 2013. She won $170,345 in cash and prizes on the episode that aired December 30, 2013, including an Audi R8 won in the pricing game "Gas Money", $10,000 cash, and Prada shoes.
